The Resilience Journal is an analog tracking tool dedicated to visualizing the overlooked, soft data in our lives.
Created as an artistic tool for self-reflection, the journal culminates into a circular data visualization. With each instance tracked, a section of the circle is filled in, creating a month-long, daily ritual of mark-making and self-engagement. This methodical form of tracking creates a distinctive wheel of shades and colors personal to each individual’s illness/ disability experience, and concurrently a unique dataset and data visualization of a complex, surviving way of being.
The Resilience Journal is designed to illuminate the ill/ disabled experience, make space to honor pain, and hopefully over time, become a living data archive of acts of resilience by chronically ill and disabled bodies.
Suggested 1 book per person. Measures 8.5” x 5.5.” Limited second edition print of 150.
PAYMENT OPTIONS
If you would like a free digital copy of the journal or want to customize your journal size there is a tagged downloadable pdf available.
ADDITIONAL INFO

The cover is a flexible, sturdy chipboard cardstock with a gold stamp on the front. The inside pages are a thick, marker-friendly eggshell white- satisfying to draw and write on.
The Resilience Journal is a softcover book printed by Paper Chase Press in Los Angeles, utilizing ethically sourced, recycled paper and sustainable labor. The Resilience Journal was produced with support from Eyebeam, The Laundromat Project, and Denniston Hill.
